Every tyre has an imprinted alphanumeric DOT code where the last four numbers on one side of the sidewall represent its manufacturing year. The first two digits of the four numbers denote the week of manufacturing while the latter two represent the year. For instance, a DOT code on a random tyre is DOT 6l Y5 006X 2118. The last four digits – 2118 – represent the manufacturing period of the tyre; 21 is the number of weeks and 18 is the manufacturing year. So this tyre rolled out between May 21, 2018 and May 27, 2018 (21st week of 2018).

Besides affecting the vehicle performance, the age of the tyre is also important when you claim your tyre warranty. If the dealer sold you a tyre manufactured a year ago, your standard warranty (depending on tyre maker) will be counted from the date of purchase. However, if you lose the bill then you have no proof to show your purchasing date. In this case, the warranty would be considered from the date of manufacturing! That’s a loss of 2 years in the warranty.

Load index is the maximum weight that each tyre of your vehicle can carry at the maximum speed limit given by the manufacturer. It is generally denoted by a two or three digit numbers that represent the load bearing limit of each tyre and is found mentioned on the sidewall of your tyre between the diameter reading and the speed rating.
